If your looking for more for your buck, this restaurant is the place. The owner is the cook, and he has a sense of humor. The waitress was sweet and she held it down being the only server. It's not fancy, but it is good. Even if your passing through.

I’ll start where it matters - the food is awesome. Best eggs and toast I’ve had in a while. Chef was running the whole show, working his butt off. So be prepared to be patient and the food will be worth the wait.

Stopped here on my way through. The place is clean and the food is great. The special of the day was fried chicken and it was probably the best I've ever had. The gentleman that runs the place is friendly and makes sure you don't leave hungry. Will be returning again as I have opportunity.

Family restaurant with quality food and service. The veggies in the omelet were fresh. Cooked perfectly, thoroughly but with a slight crisp when biting into, even the tomatoes cooked but still had their shape so not mushy. French toast was delicious and soft. All around gGreat homecooked quality. Great way to start the day.
